Thanks for the responses! I definitely want to go the Loop route…
I’ve made some progress and thought it was going to work but there was a problem. It may be exactly what moshu said about the databases.
I have my non-wp index.php page with 2 different loops in it. When I browse to it though it displays the last excerpt from only the first loop’s blog and displays it twice. The first loop requires “news/wp-blog-header.php” and the second loop requires “journal/wp-blog-header.php”. I thought that this would retrieve the correct last excerpts from both blogs but it did not. It seems as though the variables or connection to the database or something is not being reset after the first loop is done and the second loop is being forced to use the data from the first loop.
I’m not sure how to correct this. It seems like the data needs to be reset from the first loop before the second loop starts or the loops need to be initiated in a way that hard-defines their source for data?
Here is the code from my file…
<?php
require_once('news/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?>
<h1 id="header"><a>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<!-- // loop start -->
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_date('m-d-y', '<h2>','</h2>'); ?>
<h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php link_pages('Pages: ', '', 'number') ?>
<em>Posted by <strong><?php the_author() ?></strong></em>
Filed under: <?php the_category(',') ?>
<?php comments_popup_link('0 comments', '1 comment', '% comments') ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<!-- // this is just the end of the motor - don't touch that line either :) -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php
require_once('journal/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?>
<h1 id="header"><a>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<!-- // loop start -->
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_date('m-d-y', '<h2>','</h2>'); ?>
<h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php link_pages('Pages: ', '', 'number') ?>
<em>Posted by <strong><?php the_author() ?></strong></em>

<?php comments_popup_link('0 comments', '1 comment', '% comments') ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<!-- // this is just the end of the motor - don't touch that line either :) -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Thanks in advance for any help on this! I feel I am so close!
